R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion, Khalid, J. Cole & More
Listen to new must-hear new songs from emerging R&B/hip-hop artists like The Amours, 41 and Rich Amiri.
With Fresh Picks, Billboard aims to highlight some of the best and most interesting new sounds across R&B and hip-hop — from Fivio Foreign’s fiery new drill anthem to Bryson Tiller ‘s sultry new Victoria Monét duet to J. Cole’s cross-generational link-up with Cam’ron. Across the bouncy ’90s-inspired instrumental, Bryson and Victoria trade verses where they play with enunciation and innuendo, teasing listeners with phrasing that hints at expletives before delving into something cleaner — and sneakily more nuanced. Produced by Jason Kellner and featuring an interpolation of Alicia Keys ‘ “Unthinkable (I’m Ready),” the new single finds Khalid updating his plaintive, atmospheric R&B style with some trap inflections.
